Stranger Things 2 (episodes 1-4)

Why blackface? Just be a Caucasian Winston as his race is irrelevant to the character. But this has fueled my advocacy for representation. It matters. Incidentally, Winston was originally supposed to be the smartest of the team.

Up through Pollywog, and this show is so damn good. Love the Sherriff/Eleven dynamic. Love the stuff with Will.

Dustin is making a stupid decision, but it’s a believable level of kid-being-stupid... for the moment. I’m also thinking the creature’s corrupting influence might get Dustin in the end.

Actually based on this ep, I predict Dustin and Will will be dead by season’s end. Max and a returned Eleven being their “replacements” in the group as things evolve and change... just not the way Mike would like.
